Abstract:
Pulse stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (pSILAC) coupled to mass spectrometric analysis is a powerful tool to study propagation of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs). We describe the combination of triple pSILAC with pulse-chase labeling of newly replicated DNA by nascent chromatin capture (NCC). This technology tracks newly synthesized and recycled old histones, from deposition to transmission to daughter cells, unveiling principles of histone-based inheritance.

Chromatin Modification in iPS Cells
Compact chromatin makes reprogramming difficult. Enzymes, such as histone demethylases and acetyltransferases, are often added during reprogramming to loosen the chromatin, making the DNA more accessible to transcription factors. Molecules that inhibit histone...

Types of ChIP
ChIP can be divided into two types - X-ChIP and N-ChIP. X-ChIP involves in vivo cross-linking of histones and regulatory proteins to DNA, fragmenting the DNA by sonication, and isolating the protein-DNA...
